This is getting old

Not having a computer is getting real old, in a way its nice but in reality its been difficult. Once you don't have one you realize how dependent you are on one, how much you actually do on one. Then BAM its gone and you're like "well, crap."

Today was a big day. Gage went to school. It's only for two days but incoming kindergarten kids go and get familiar with the teachers, school and each other. They read books, sung songs, had a snack, recess, and worked on the letter A. He got in the bus like he had been doing it for years. Tomorrow is the last day and then summer. Not quite sure what day it starts but here we start after labor day.

So here is day 7, hoping tomorrow I get to post from an actual computer! Maybe even get to actually post the photos I have taken. Goodnight.

But i cant sleep!

If tonight is any indication how its going to be come Sept, we're going to be in trouble. Gage is restless. The nights Jason work are normally a issue with him because he doesn't like him going so tack on the whole going to school tomorrow, he's not wanting to go to sleep. I just can't wait for school to officially start /sarcasm. I plan on starting our school routine possibly 1-2 weeks before school starts. That way we are all adjusted and not dragging on the first day. Can I just say I still can't believe we are at this point already?! Geeze.

We have an old desktop set up. Jason has to work on it some to hopefully get it working. We need a computer. There is no doubt we need one. He will be getting info from a school in the mail soon. We are going to look it over and see if its the right school for him. I think he needs this. He wants it, so I support him fully. When he is done, I want to take some photography classes.

Day six a success. Boys are in bed, bishop is asleep in the swing, diaper laundry is going and I hate typing on my phone. So goodnight!

Why can't I twitch my nose like Samantha Stevens?

Lately my house has been bothering me, we moved in just over a year ago and it took several months before the house officially became ours. Many of you probably know the whole she-bang drag out issues we had with it so I'm not going to hash it out again. Basically, we weren't sure if we were staying or going. So we never really 100% settled in. Even after living there over a year I still don't feel like it's my house. We haven't painted mainly because it can become costly but we really just have not settled in. We have hung some photos but it's slowly becoming cluttered.

It's driving me nuts. I have decided I am going to just start pitching things left and right to get rid of it. I can't believe how much and how quickly things can accumulate. I'm not the best house keeper but I do try. I also have 3 boys who it doesn't matter how much effort you put into keeping a room clean are going to destroy it in a mere matter of seconds. Heck, just Dane could do the destruction by himself.

But I am starting to feel more at home, like it is ours. It's so strange how emotionally I just have not connected. Even after Bishop was born there this past September, the emotions just aren't there yet.

With that said, I do wish I could twitch my nose and everything does exactly what I want it to. The floor sweeps itself (what the hell were we thinking with no carpet?!), or that the counters were instantly clean. The toilets scrubbed themselves, the laundry wash, dried and put away with two twitches. I think you catch my drift. I would only use it for good, well, maybe. Oh the joy of thoughts about never having to physically do any of that stuff again. I'd be one happy camper.

Who am I kidding though? I'd be lucky to get a sneeze to wash my windows. I am glad that I managed to get a day five written on a real computer instead of my evo. That was a major pain, it's fun in small amounts but when you only have that to connect you to the internet it gets old and fast. Hopefully soon we'll have a new computer to use. Two comps are shot, they would cost the same to buy new to repair them.

Ah, oh well. So happy day five! See you all tomorrow :)

Quality time

Day four is here and I'm still on my phone. It's not bad but attempting to blog is a wee bit difficult. Hopefully that will change soon. Anyways its kinda been nice, no 5 year old to hound about getting on to play nick Jr or super mario. We also no longer have tv so we have been snuggling while watching movies of their choices. Tangled has been a first choice. I have also gotten my butt beat several times at chutes and ladders.

Sorry this is short but the phone is very annoying. Tomorrow I will be able to post my photos also using my moms comp.

Goodnight!

day three: i killed another one

Well this sucks, I was on the POS Compaq today and it died. Jason says that he should be able to get it back up again but this right here proves how unreliable the computer really is. We need on so he can take classes online and some sandy seeing as we no longer have tv.

I can type my posts here obviously but can't post my once a day photo. I took one still. I'm hoping to have the laptop up soon. He works tonight and something to keep me occupied after he leaves and the boys are in bed. My nights would become very boring. Using my phone would also get very old. It honestly already has. So I'm doing to call it quits. I still got day three in!

Day Two: Kindergarten Experience

This fall I will have an official kindergartner. Totally not ready for this in the slightest, its still crazy to me that he's even old enough to be ready to go. I feel like yesterday Gage was just 2. Time has flown by way to fast and I am not liking it a single bit.

The Kindergarten Experience is something that the district we live in does. Possibly others do but this is the first time I am hearing of it. For two days they have the kids come to school to get acquainted and learn about it all. Unlike when he starts school officially this is just a half day. He will be going to all day Kindergarten. So, Tuesday June 7th and 8th, I will be walking him down to the front of our neighborhood and getting him on a bus. A bus! He is scheduled to go in the PM so that works, I can get him breakfast and ready. If it were in the AM I know I would have felt far too rushed. I need a few more months before that starts haha.

Pictures will be a definite. A bus, I can't believe it. The last 5 years have flown by. Never in these 5 years have I imagined we'd be here already. I'm not quite sure what I will do with only two at home during the day but I know that school will be a great thing for Gage. I believe Mr. Social will do just fine.

Challenge, Day One: Bishop's 9 Months!

So here we are today is June 1st. It means its the start of my challenges and also something else special. Today, Bishop is 9 months old. It's crazy that 9 months have already passed. He's growing so much and is such a little porker. We hit our 9 month nursing milestone as well. That journey has been a long hard one honestly. We have overcome the upsets and are moving forward. I love the snuggles and big smiles.

He still refuses to crawl, but he's getting there. Well, I shouldn't say refuses but he definitely has been stubborn about it. Hates tummy time and will do whatever he can to get off it. Screaming and crying is his biggest winner. We've been working with him more to figure out how to get on all 4's, today was actually pretty successful. He even pulled up to standing position using Jason who was laying on the floor with him! That's a big step for him.

He is a piggy. Loves to eat big people food, devoured some cheese chunks the other day and loved banana slices. Noodles are also a favorite.

His big brothers can make him laugh all the time. His smiles are all through his face.

Teeth, he's getting them! His first tooth was his 2nd right incisor. Totally not where you'd expect to get the 1st tooth haha. His 2nd and 3rd teeth were his bottoms and now his 4th is cutting through. It's his left front tooth! So he's going to have a funky looking smile for a few. He's an amazing chunkamunk.

So here is my first post. Hate that it was so late but it took me a few to get the photos I wanted onto this laptop. It's old, it's slow but it works so I won't really complain. Tomorrow I will work hard to get my post up much sooner in the day. So for day one, I don't think it was that bad. Hopefully this creates a really good habit.
